= Status of Cinnamon Open Source client libraries
== Active or static libraries
||=**Library** =||=**Status** =||=**Description** =||
||CDCplus ||Active ||Client starter application ||
||CDCplusLib ||Active ||Open Source client GUI components. ||
||!ChildSelector ||Active ||Command-line program to be called from editors to expose Cinnamon functionality like child selection (and potentially others). ||
||CinnamonAEResources ||Active ||Components to be used in //CinnamonAsynchronousEngine//. ||
||!CinnamonAsynchronousEngine ||Active ||Asynchronous, highly configurable and customizable framework to run code on the server that does things (not easy to be more specific). Used for publication, thumbnail generation, data extraction, translation management and more. ||
||!ContentAwareness ||Active ||Implementation of link management in XML and other modular formats. ||
||Ginger ||Active ||Open Source object model implementation of Cinnamon data model. Based on !VisualBasic and in some fields a bit bloated, but widely used. Should be replaced with something lighter based on C# so it can run on Mono / Linux. ||
||!NativeApiServerConnector ||Active ||Standard communication layer with API interface. ||
||Praties ||Semi-Active ||Open Source client GUI and Business Logic components (like controls, context functions etc.). It is maintained as a major part of the Desktop Client, but will be gradually replaced with //CDCplusLib//, based on C# instead of !VisualBasic. ||
||Xylopia ||Static ||Still used in client, but should be replaced by something else (preferrably, an existing Open Source library we can integrate for simple XML editing). ||
